CLASS HISTORY Two years together— two years filled with friendships and earnest endeavor, years that once seemed to stretch away and beyond the possibility of realization, but which, now that they have come to an end. seem to have glided swiftly and quietly and earnestly into the stream of our other years — such is the time element of our Class History. In September 39 twenty-four of us. representatives of four southern states — Florida. South Carolina. North Carolina, and Tennessee — entered Sacred Heart. Through the trials and diffi- culties that beset our way during our first year Patricia Riley. Virginia Brookshire. and Miriam Cameron led us on to victory. In the traditional manner of older sisters, the Sophomores, guided us through this new life. They began by giving us an Introductory Dance at which we met all the eligible bache- lors. But to prove their authority and to shatter whatever illusions they had given us they originated Rat Week. ' a week of torment and misery, a week spent in suffering the indig- nities imposed upon us. in hiding away from our tormentors and in enduring the pangs of homesickness. Then to present our disgrace to the public, our big sisters very graciously al- lowed us to attend the dance that put an end to Rat Week . The Christmas holidays passed. Night after night we spent in feverish cramming, while our hair lost its curl and fingernails ceased to be. The end of this week brought welcome relief and we began to eat again. With spring in the air and exams far behind we made the most of opportunity and gave a Leap Year Dance. That night the girls really showed the boys some points in the fine art of being escorts. To show the Sophomores that we harbored no ill feelings for their treatment of us in October and that we really appreciated their sisterly advice given throughout the year we entertained them with the traditional Junior-Senior Banquet. The year ended on June 6. We kissed our Sister Sophomores good-bye. then left to enjoy our well-earned rest. The end of three months found us back at school with only four members missing and one new member added. We were now twenty-one strong. Virginia Brookshire, Betty Holton. and Louise Bowen were elected to lead our class to its final goal. It took us some time to realize that we were no longer mere freshmen but in reality the Senior Class of the college. Once we awoke to this fact we lost no time in seeing that every one else in the school recognized us as such. That the Freshmen should miss none of the opportunities afforded us we held the In- troductory Dance; and. not forgetting the misery of Rat Week. we enjoyed watching the lowly Freshmen squirm under our none- too- gentle ministrations. Like us, however, they had their consolation — a dance in the college gymnasium. Christmas vacation, exams. Spring holidays, all passed in due course. Again we were planning for the annual Turnabout Dance, and again we showed the boys the ideal way of escorting. Our Junior-Senior, our last big event in our college course, was truly memorable. Then came Class Day when graduates and lower classmen in billowy white and pastel evening dresses made a picture the loveliest of the year, as they swirled and swished across the lawn and along the bridal wreath drive. At last came June 4th and with it all the pomp and circumstance of graduation, all the joys of home-going, and all the sadness of leave-taking from friends kind and true. So ends our Class History. Short in truth it is; yet how replete with memories, memories we shall love to cherish of all that made worthwhile two memorable years at Sacred Heart.

CLASS POEM THE SONGS WE SING Across the strings of time we ' re playing The varied songs of all our -years — Years perplexing, -years revealing — Our songs of laughter, our songs of tears. Yet now in us is hope the firmest That in our souls ' eternal ties In our hearts — love brightly shining — The true leit-motif of our music lies. That not from tears and idle dreaming Not from rainbows in the skies. But from ourselves — faith strongly gleaming Will the noblest songs of our future rise. c C.-t ' fT Page Thirty-one 1941 Gradatim CLASS HISTORY September 1937 found us, a group of freshies — Eva Mac. Margaret, Ann, Carolyn, Nclida, and Mary Lib — starting out on our great adventure — first year high at Sacred Heart, To four of us — Eva Mae, Ann, Carolyn, and Mary Lib — the traditions of Sacred Heart were not unfamiliar. For Margaret initiation was easy; but not so for our Cuban classmate, Nelida. Besides the diffi- culties which all of us had to face, Nelida had the additional terrors of a strange language. One common bond, however, we had among us — the determination to make the best of the years ahead. Then with hopes that were brightest wc started on our way. Bright days and dark days, days that sped and days that dragged, moved on somehow through weeks and months, through Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, on through weeks and months, through the round of gaieties that preceded the closing of school, till in June we found ourselves at the end of a year of satisfying achievement. When we met in September, we were delighted to welcome to our group two others, Mattie Vaughan and Ann Clark. Mattie and Ann were soon as much at home as we were at Sacred Heart. Then up the hills of achievement and down through the valleys of plodding we journeyed for another year. Came June again, and again September: and of the eight who went out in June only four returned. Nothing daunted by diminishing numbers we four. Ann. Eva Mae, Margaret, and Mary Lib, determined to carry on as real, true, and worthwhile juniors, juniors who would be worthy in every way of the privi- leges and responsibilities of the next year. Then in September ' 40. we, the tried and true — Eva Mae. Ann. Margaret, and Mary Lib, returned to begin our last year, to assume the honors of dignified seniors. Adding the spice of variety to our senior year, Helen Powers came from Chicago to Sacred Heart. Without much ado Helen became an integral part of our strongly unified circle. With us she has joyfully shared the difficulties and triumphs of our last year. Here then is told briefly the history of our class at Sacred Heart, the gradu- ating class of ' 41. Through the entangling snares of Latin nouns and phrases, the perplexing irregularities of French verbs, and the bewilderment of ever- changing Algebraic signs our path of learning has led us through places dark with gloom of oncoming examinations, through places shadowy with the uncer- tainties of results, and through places peacefully lighted with the brilliancy of success. Of those four years at Sacred Heart how many arc the memories we shall cherish, memories of events great and small that made up the weeks and months of our high school years. Wc shall like to remember the hilarious fun of our hallowe ' en parties; the care-free merriment of our tea parties, garden parties, and skating parties; the triumphant glory of our basketball games; the joys of accomplishment in the plays we staged; the distinctive honors of our Glee Club tours: and most particularly the grace and loveliness of our May crownings. These, the joys and pleasures of our high school years, have con- tributed no less than our formal classroom studies to that complete and har- monious development which is the end of our education, the true goal of our great adventure. Page Thitty-iivo CLASS PROPHECY Belmont. North Carolina May 16. 1941. De. r Ann. It was such a surprise to hear of your marriage. We thought you had finally settled into managing your Ice Cream Companies: and then you sprmg a thing like that on us! Well, it goes to show vou how one can change in eight years; for. dear, it has been eight years and three months since you were here. I ' m sorry that I wasn ' t able to attend your wedding. Tennessee is quite a distance from Belmont and I couldn ' t leave home. Husbands are such bothers when it comes to managing home affairs. You said Margaret was at your wedding. How is she ' The last time I heard from her she was teaching the dance routines for Al Fox ' s new musical hit. and having the time of her life. But that ' s Margaret. She was always that way. Remember ' Bv the way. Roy (Margaret ' s high school flame I was in Belmont last week and dropped by. It seems that he has lost track of her. If you have her address wire it to him here at the Clemont Hotel right away. He s leaving for New York next week. Guess who is back in Charlotte ' No other than our Chicagoclassmate. Helen Powers. Maybe you ' ve seen her picture in the papers. Helen is much in demand. Her fashion designs this season are the smartest ever. I always knew she had aspired high but she surprised me when she reached the top so soon. She ' s speaking at the Charlotte Woman ' s Club tonight: afterwards were to celebrate our reunion. I can hardly wait! Yesterday Marv Lib drove out and spent the dav with me. We had a wonder- ful time talking over our school days at Sacred Heart. It seems as if it were only last week, instead of eight years ago. that we were in caps and gowns receiving our diplomas. You remember we thought Mary Lib would be a dancing teacher ' Well she hasn ' t taught anyone but her little son. WiUard. She has her heart set on the bov ' s becoming a great dancer. Every spare moment goes to his dancing lessons and. my dear, he ' s really good. He ' s only five years old but he has excellent control of his feet. Mary Lib is proud of him and so is W lUard. I ' ve never seen a father so devoted to a child as he is to that boy. Do you realize it is only two years until our class reunion? Won ' t it be grand to be back at Sacred Heart! I know how you ' ve missed the place. Mary Lib and I have been very lucky. We go out often to visit the Sisters and see if any changes have been made in our favorite spots. When Spring hits Sacred Heart it is hard to resist the temptation of visiting so lovely a place. I am look- ing forward to our class meeting there on June 8. 1951. when we can turn back the pages of our memory books and once more be the happy school girls of ' 41. I hope you will find the happiest moments of your life in the new role you have chosen. May each day bring more happiness to your married life as it has to mine. Lovingly. EVA.

Under Miss Bogan ' s leadership, the Woman ' s Athletic Association was organized, the following officers bemg elected: Miss Maude Partnck. president; Miss Elizabeth Georgi. treasurer: Miss Mary Katherine Kabas, secretary. The Association has sponsored various activities, social as well as athletic, and has stimulated interest in a greater number of sports. Judging from the cheering and merry shouts which emanated from the campus, all were intensely interested in the games and forgot everything else in the joyous excitement of the play. In addition to the traditional basketball, tennis, hockey, and swimming, other games, such as soccer, archery, badminton, and horseback riding have been tried and enjoyed. Teams were formed and contests were engaged in some- times with outside teams. In all these contests a spirit of sportsmanship was manifested. This spirit was imbued by our coach. Miss Bogan. and is a tribute to her insistence upon adherence to all the rules of fair play. As a finale to the athletic program of the year, a Play Day was held. Girls from several other schools competed in track and field. Softball, archery, and other games. The theme of the Play Day was A Day on the Ranch. Such teams as The Saddle. The Stirrups, and others were chosen and contests were arranged in keeping with the theme. The team acquiring the highest score was adjudged the winner. As this article goes to press, plans are being made for a banquet in honor of the athletes. At the close of the banquet, awards will be given to the winners in the various contests.
